Understand customers

Use customer records to understand a buyer across orders, products, licenses, and delivery history.

Customer records are most helpful when you are answering a human question: What did this person buy? Did they receive a key? Were they refunded? Are they a repeat buyer?

You do not have to manage customers manually for normal checkout. Zwely creates and updates customer records as people buy or claim products.

Before you start

  • Customers are created when someone checks out or claims a free product.

Look up a customer

  1. 01

    Read the customer summary first

    The summary gives you a quick sense of customer activity before you look at individual people. It is useful for spotting whether your list is mostly new buyers, repeat buyers, or free claims.

    Find the customer in the list

    Use the list to identify the buyer by email, name, tags, and order history. Open a customer when you need more than one order row can show.

    Open the customer profile

    The customer record gathers identity, contact, tags, and account-level context for support. This is a good starting point when someone writes in from a familiar email address.

    Review order and delivery history

    Customer history helps answer practical questions: what they bought, when they bought it, what key they received, and whether any order was refunded.

Good to know

  • Exports are better for offline analysis. Customer pages are better for support and individual context.
